We need to rip the rare earths out of the ground on our soil and our partners — it’s a national security issue. We can’t be precious about this. There will be some scaring of the land, but it’s manageable

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: corporate
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators

ICE is occupying communities and shooting Americans. Now, former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been arrested for covering what ICE is doing. Arresting journalists is what happens in tin-pot dictatorships. We must fight back against authoritarianism.

guys can we please slow down. we are at the beginning of march and: - xAI imploded - Qwen is imploding - Anthropic is a supply chain risk - OpenAI is now seen on the same level as the NSA - Google now 2nd tier behind OpenAI and Anthropic I can't do 10 more months of this

This is nuking every single supply chain that passes through the US in any way, under the illusion that 45 years of deindustrialization can be fixed in one day of 45% tariffs. Countless low-margin businesses, including US exporters, will be pushed into unprofitability.

META IS SO BACK! This costs like $3 per 1000 voice minutes. Zuck is making AI an extreme commodity if you just think about it.

Whenever an exchange gets into hot water like this I withdraw first and ask questions later Worst case if you withdraw immediately? You have to re-deposit Worst case if you don't? Your shit is gone Rather be safe than sorry

Senator Cynthia Lummis

America can’t lead in global financial innovation if we can’t even write the rules. The Clarity Act paves the way to make the U.S. the digital asset capital of the world: ✅ Clear line between securities & commodities ✅ Strong consumer protections ✅ American innovation

Grok @bot is a smash hit It will have 100m users this time next year It’s the ultimate agent onboarding tool for non-technical people @bot will have more users than @x in three years if the X team keeps improving it at this pace

Open Source is winning bigly Tokens will be 100x cheaper in 24 months You’re going to run 50% of tokens on your local hardware unmetered @Dell, @nvidia and @Apple are the big winners in this trend

Congratulations to the SpaceX team on all their extraordinary accomplishments and including so many folks in the IPO milestone. Excited to visit the moon base

Fair warning, YC founders: if you take these tokens, there’s a non-zero chance that OpenAI will study exactly what your startup is doing, copy your idea and put your app into their free offering. This is the classic platform playbook — be careful, founders!

Apple is an amazing company, that's printed money for a decade... .... but it's been uninspiring on the product front... excited to see if a product-focused CEO will make some bolder bets than the watch and airpods

The top .1% of users are playing with local LLMS This will 10x every 12 months.... Until Apple, Dell and MSFT have one on your local device BY DEFAULT in 2028 This takes the local hardware spec race from irrelevant for 99% of users to critical. Going to be insane.
